I don't want to quit cutting now that I've started again.

I can't keep hurting my boyfriend though.
I'm pathetic.

You are not pathetic, your just having a tough time. Its good that your boyfriend is there for you, because having support can make a big difference. Do you have any friends or a parent you could talk to? That could really help. Remember that you arn't here by accident.

I'm glad you understand that you are hurting the ones you love. That should be a good motivation to quit. Cutting yourself may help ease the pain, but it is not good for you. Look for things you love about yourself and try and get yourself busy with activities that you like to do.

I'm here if you want to talk! Take care

I think Nicole has it right. You're not pathetic at all, and sometimes when you're having a hard time in life, you just have this to turn too. I know it's hard to think that you're hurting your boyfriend while you're doing this, but you need to focus on the fact that you're hurting yourself. It's YOU that you should feel like stopping for, and it's YOU that you should feel like getting better for.

You're not pathetic, not at all. You just might need a little bit of help to feel better about things. It's good that you have your boyfriend to care about you, so maybe you should speak to him and try to get some support.

Things will get better, you just need to try. Take care.

Hey there,

I'm really sorry to hear that you aren't having the best of times right now but I promise you that you aren't pathetic, you're just going through a really rough time right now but these things can get better. It's good that you are concerned about hurting your boyfriend but I think the other two are right when they say that you need to be worried about hurting yourself because you're the one who will have the wear the scars forever. If you ever want someone to talk to then feel free to PM me at anytime as I'm always more than happy to listen and talk about everything and anything. I hope that things start getting better and you feel better soon. :)

Take care and stay strong, we're here for you. :hug:
